bdTrial: Hair, skin, face and bubs

The BD team raid the beauty cupboard for products for all parts of the body (and their bubs).

V05 Give Me Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner
Oh, my life. My hair has been an absolute disaster with this blasted humidity. It’s a big, boofy mess of a blonde mane. Enter the ‘Give Me Moisture’ duo from the clever chaps at VO5, a delicious concoction formulated with pear, passionfruit and freesia. The Shampoo & Conditioner duo leaves my locks smelling fresh and fruity, while the moisturising formula strengthens and hydrates. I’ve been using the products for only a week, but can already see a noticeable difference in my crazy mane. Good one VO5, you do what you do. - Kelly

Synergie Skin SuperSerum
I love using products that prevent ageing, but I get REALLY excited when I have the chance to trial a product that reverses the signs of ageing - after all, who wouldn’t want to undo the damage caused by one too many Queensland summers? Because of this, I am loving Synergie Skin’s SuperSerum. The serum glides onto my skin and is absorbed easily, leaving no residue whatsoever. An anti-ageing cosmeceutical, it triggers the skin cell processes that help to renew and repair ageing skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and increase volume and hydration (yes, please!). The ingredients in the serum work to target cell ageing and genetic damage as well as restore skin tissue, enhance collagen synthesis, boost the synthesis of the skin's own hyaluronic acid, and reduce expression lines. I’ve been using for a few weeks and have already seen improvements in the fine lines around my mouth. - Whitney

Dr.Hauschka Bronzing Powder
I am absolutely in love with this bronzing powder. Not only does it deliver the perfect sun-kissed look with its hints of pink shimmer and soft brown tones, but it’s actually good for your skin! It’s free from synthetic preservatives, colours and scents, which makes me more than happy to use it on my face. The bronzing powder is formulated with witch hazel and sage, which are known for working on skin impurities, and it features a lovely rose scent. My skin glows after I apply this bronzer. - Vanessa

The Jojoba Company 100% Natural Baby Oil
Along with 'no', 'dog', 'plane' and 'pegs', 'more' is a word that often comes out of the mouth of my 15-month-old. It's usually said in a food context, but can also refer to his request to top up the bubbles in the bath. Most recently, however, Texas has discovered that getting a post-bath massage is rather lovely. This is thanks to The Jojoba Company 100% Natural Baby Oil, which I lather on him each night. It glides and easily spreads onto his skin, calming rough patches and giving a natural antiseptic coating to his learning-to-walk grazes. The hydrating formula softens his skin and smells divine, and while it can be used to treat specific skin concerns like nappy rash and cradle cap, I've found that a relaxing massage with a calming natural oil is reason enough to ask for 'more'  each night. - Michelle
